16mm 4 Core SWA Armoured Cable is a type of electrical cable that has a PVC outer sheath and a steel wire armour below. This protects the cores inside the cable which makes it suitable for direct burial into the ground.
We often get asked what length we supply our cable in, this is very simple; we can cut your cable to any length you need. For instance, if you need a 25m coil of 16mm 4 core steel wire armoured cable, you would simply enter 25 into the quantity box.
- The Railway and Transport industry
- Underneath roads powering buildings
